why it’s important to invest in and build healthy, loving, secure relationships

The quality of our lives isn’t just shaped by our material wealth, food and exercise regime. The quality of our lives is also largely shaped by the strength, depth and quality of our friendships, family and romantic relationships.

For this reason, it’s really important that we take the steps to invest in and build strong, meaningful relationships that offer emotional support, a safe space to belong, respectful communication, a strong foundation of trust, and the encouragement to grow as a person.

Building strong, loving, meaningful relationships with the people in our lives is an essential part of a living a fulfilling and happy life.

For some of us, this comes naturally as we were raised in environments that celebrated connections, nurtured long-term friendships and valued respectful, healthy marriages. For others of us (like myself) — it’s more of a huge learning curve that’s come with a lot of mistakes, broken hearts and toxic friendships that have had to end.

The good news is that no matter what our previous experiences have been, we all have the opportunity to build strong relationships with the people around us — and it starts with build a positive, grounding, healthy relationship with ourselves.
